Last night, for Herb's birthday, a small group of friends gathered at Soto restaurant for dinner. The group included Herb, Aileen, John F, Monster, the GothFather, Brandon & Gilli. Great dinner. Fun service, since it was the workplace of the GothFather, so everyone in the staff knew him and he was the experienced native guide and advisor on the food. We started by ordering the mussels and antipasto plates for the table. I had the scallops with fava beans. Monster had the grilled duck breast on polenta. Great food, perfectly cooked. They also have a new pastry chef at the restaurant who put together a fabulous "cookie" plate that came after the meal with several very diverse baked sweets. I'm not sure how that appeared at our table - whether someone was talked into trying it or if it was a normal after-dinner bit or if, knowing it was Herb's birthday, a treat.
Afterwards, all of us gathered at the GothFather's Groovy Bachelor Pad for Italian cream cake and coffee. Lots of conversation on film followed. Finally, we left for home and bed around 1:30 AM.
